Human Trafficking

The International Labour Organization estimates there are over 40 million people in the world trapped in modern day slavery or human trafficking. The statistics are staggering and when you read the individual stories, they are heart breaking. You may not be able to make a difference for 40 million, but you can make a difference for one. By shopping through any of the links below, you are supporting brands which prevent human trafficking and create a new life for women and children who have escaped. (To learn more and get involved in the fight against human trafficking check out the International Justice Mission or Freedom United.)
